Bethesda Game Studios has made no secret of the fact it's working on a new game, but has been keeping its identity under wraps.

Back in August, producer Todd Howard revealed that his studio's new game is already in an advanced stage and that the gap between reveal and release would be a short one.

"From when you first hear about it to when it's out will be the shortest it's been for us. It's pretty far along. When we show it, we want to show a lot, because there's a lot of game there to play right now," he explained.

There's a huge audience waiting for the sequel, with Oblivion having sold over three million copies as of January 2007.

It'll be co-op, but hopefully that doesn't mean there will be a party system. I don't want a party with me all the time. I expect it will just be all like "Yo dawg you wanna raid this tomb with me?" "Sure bro, but enemies will be stronger remember lolk?". And everyone lives happily ever after as long as they get the same loot at the end.

Why don't they just give it over to Obsidian so they can feck it up like they did New Vegas style!!! I sware Bethesda did that on purpose just to make the point that they were the better team for the job. Sorry, umm, back on topic...

Yeah, I spent so long in Cyrodil I swear my ears got a bit pointy! More of that please.

HHHNNNGGGGG >_< Can't waaaiiittttt. Does this tie in with any VGA announcement rumours? I don't care much for the mythology in IV, but I want to be in a world like Cyrodil again because it was awesome.
